Guarding the Gates Part One

<p>There is a clear and intentional onslaught against the spiritual 'gates'. This is not an attack for the 'now' but an attack that has always existed. This is an attack that is escalating intensifying and becoming more vicious. It is an attack to lead people away from God thus an attack to destroy the person. And we are talking here about the 'gate' - entry point - of nations of cities of homes of families and our very lives. A gate is a strategic point. It is a point of legally 'controlling' what goes in and out of the 'city'. The enemy is laying siege to gain entry for once he has entered through the 'gate' he comes to steal to destroy and to kill. For the Lord has shown the enemy has come like an assassin like a thief and as a destroyer. We need to guard the gates of our spirit soul and body to abide in the Lord in His truth and will. Only then shall we overcome the lies the onslaughts and the forces that seek to destroy us. Only then shall we walk in victory. This two-part series explores how we can guard the 'gates' so that hell will not prevail and we can wal;k in God's glory and triumph.</p>
